Eurolights - 100Q

Now Larry, I don't know what you're talking about.

Euro beam pattern goes diagonally up toward the right, so
seeing road signs is no problem. They light up quite dramatically
even on low beam. The high beams are ridiculously bright for
reflective road signs.

My Pathfinder had H4s as well, and the pattern was like the
pattern on my Audi 200 lights. Even w/ stock wattage 55/65s
in the Pathfinder, I had no problem seeing at night- the lights
were great. The current owner probably cannot appreciate them at
all, unless he drives a different car on occasion and sees the
difference.

I have not seen any of the cars in question with bad european-spec
lights. The only one I can think of is the old Mercedes lights- I've
seen a few grey-market cars with european lights (the old 300D turbodiesels,
a few 280SE/380SEL/500SEL, and a few 450SLs) that didn't seem very bright
at all. I wasn't driving or riding in the car in question, so maybe I'm
wrong and the lights are great, but they didn't seem very bright.

A friend of mine had a Jetta GLI (A2 chassis) that had the 4-lamp round
light conversion done, and his lights were awesome. Properly relayed,
he was using 90/130W H4s in his main beams with 130W driving lights. Man,
were those things bright! I'll bet he regrets that he didn't buy eurolights
for his current Jetta GLX (A3 chassis).

Am I the only one who has properly working eurolights that are properly
bright on low beam?
